IG Index was Still Trading!

Despite the London Stock Exchange suspending trading on Monday, 8 September 2008 due to a technical problem, IG Index was able to continue offering competitive markets on the top 40 stocks in the UK.

The LSE was affected for much of the trading day as technical difficulties kept the session on hold from just after 0900 BST until 1600 BST.

However, IG Index was the only UK spread betting firm to continue offering live online prices during this period, thanks to our superior trading technology and connectivity to alternative trading venues.

Although some prices were affected, we offered live online prices for the top 40 UK stocks.

Our award-winning browser-based PureDeal platform allows you to trade with confidence, offering reliably fast execution and one-click dealing, while our prices are made from a range of execution venues.

At IG Index we offer permanently low spreads across a huge range of world markets, with spreads of just 0.1% on daily bets for all major shares.
